Windows Phone 7 Marketplace crosses the 5000 app milestone

In less than two months, Windows 7 Phone Marketplace collected over 5,000 apps.

The Microsoft Windows Marketplace for Mobile (aka Windows 7 Phone Market Place) has unofficially passed the 5000 apps, according to recent statistics.

To put that in perspective, there are as many apps as Palm's WebOS, a platform that has been out since June 2009. As any App Store, there are some less than great apps, but we have not seen an abundance of crap apps.

There are over 1,000 applications submitted during the last 13 days! The market place is 72% paid apps and only 28% free programs, 23% of all games, 15% Tools & Utilities and 10% of Entertainment apps.

It tells us that the 5000 mark is a very real number, and that means that developers embracing Windows Phone 7.Not a bad way to end 2010 as we look forwards to news from Microsoft next week at CES.

The average price of a paid app is $ 1.51.
